What the FDA AER plate says about Urination

Signature read: 94 death-coded reports is a heavy tail count for Urination in the CVM extract. Report volume is upper-third scale: 541 named reports in the openFDA extract. 94 of 541 reports were death-coded (17.4% of named reports, not a population mortality rate). Nearest volume peer: Prolonged capillary refill time (±0 reports). Lead species Dog (454). Lead co-reported drug Afoxolaner (61).

Read these counts as reporting volume, not risk: per our methodology, Lead co-reported drug Afoxolaner appears in filings alongside this reaction; that is association, not causation. Browse the full reactions index or the about page for how PlainBreed frames FDA CVM extracts.
